Summary
Many users in our community who are using the wholesale strategies they learned in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training modules are big fans of SMART SCOUT (Our community discount and affiliate link for that tool is found at SilentJim.com/ss )
Today I got to spend some time in a conversation with Scott Needham - the creator of the software as well as the owner of an Amazon account that has done $400 million in total wholesale and private label sales on Amazon.
It's a candid conversation between a couple of guys who've sold a lot of stuff, seen a lot of trends and opportunities and perhaps more importantly have learned a lot of lessons along the way.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. I've got a guest today. It's a bit of an unusual guest |
| 0:04.8 | guess because most of our guest episodes feature a successful student from the proven Amazon |
| 0:12.3 | course training. We've got hundreds of those episodes. That's the vast majority of the |
| 0:17.6 | interviews. But today it's an interview with another leader in the Amazon selling community. |
| 0:22.8 | His name is Scott Needham. He has a tool called Smart Scout that we talk about quite a bit around here. |
| 0:28.2 | He attended our last event, our proven conference in May, and they were a great sponsor as well of that event. |
| 0:35.7 | But it's a guy who's sold $400 million of wholesale on |
| 0:39.4 | Amazon. So he knows his stuff. He's been around. He's got a great perspective on the industry. |
| 0:45.4 | And I love bringing you these slightly different episodes just to get a feel for what's possible, |
| 0:51.0 | what's out there, what's the mood of the general e-commerce community at large |
| 0:55.2 | and some of the other great leaders doing great things. He's got an event coming up in August. |
| 0:59.2 | We're going to talk a little bit about that, how you can be a part of that, along with a great |
| 1:02.2 | discount coupon code for you. Again, I mentioned the tool Smart Scout, which Scott developed. |
| 1:08.5 | It is a power tool for wholesale sellers specifically. |
| 1:12.4 | In our proven wholesale course, there'll be a link in the show notes to that as well. |
| 1:16.9 | I think the website is proven wholesale sourcing.com. |
| 1:19.5 | That's the website, proven wholesale sourcing.com. |
| 1:22.8 | If you go through that training, it's going to include a lot of references to Smart Scout, |
| 1:29.3 | which is a tool that really has shaped and massaged the data from Amazon's feed |
| 1:34.8 | into a way that's very friendly for wholesale sellers to find opportunities. |
| 1:39.8 | You can learn more about Smart Scout at SilentGim.com slash sS as in Smart Scout. |
| 1:46.7 | All these links, including a link to Scott's upcoming event in August are in the show notes. |
